Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in.

Chapter 171 Orochimaru's Messenger

"Karin, Hana, Shiro, you have passed. Team 11 will officially start the mission tomorrow morning."

Moonlight Gale had a complicated look on his face. He was the successor of the Konoha-ryu dojo, and with his bloodline limit of transparent escape, although he was not a master of his time, he was at least a top-ranked senior ninja in the Konoha Village.

But the result of this test was far beyond his expectations. The reconnaissance ninjutsu that even the Sun Release could not dodge, the bloodline limit called Ice Release, and the sealing technique that was so excellent that it was definitely not something that ordinary ninjas could master.

"Even if two of them are descendants of the Uzumaki clan, that transfer student is...Ice Release Ninja, it's incredible that this kind of bloodline limit is still circulating in the world."

The pale-faced Yueguang Jifeng coughed heavily twice, and after explaining the details with a sick look on his face, he was ready to go to the Hokage's office immediately to report to the Third Hokage.

Kushina, who used the alias Karin, sighed inwardly, never expecting that there would be a day when she would have to return to the Ninja Academy to take the graduation exam.

But how are Naruto and Sasuke? They should be fine.

I heard that Kakashi hasn’t been seen for a long time and even his style of behavior has changed. It’s a pity for Obito and Rin.

The cruelty of war was something Kushina, a person from a fallen country, had deeply experienced. No matter what, she did not want her children to experience such a horrific war.

"As for Naruto and Sasuke, they will definitely pass. They are both very strong. Sister Karin doesn't have to worry about them, right?"

Karin smiled, and a hint of understanding flashed in her red eyes behind her glasses.

Normally, sisters Karin and Kotoko are most concerned about Naruto and Sasuke, so Karin was not surprised at all by this reaction.

"It's time to go back and report to Mr. Huayue. I've been lonely since we last met for a while."

With waist-length hair and a handsome and delicate face like ice and snow, the warmth from her smile is enough to melt any ice and snow.

Hearing Bai's dangerous words, Karin lowered her head, her face flushed with shame. Unlike the vicissitudes of life in her past, although Karin's character is now strong, she still retains the fragility of a girl.

"Wait, Bai, how can you say such things outside, at least... in..."

"I really miss Mr. Huayue. I want to be his tool, I want to clear all obstacles for him, I want to kill the enemies who stand in his way, I want to do it for him..."

Kushina blocked her mouth before waiting for the next dangerous words to burst out of Shiro's mouth.

Little did he know that in Bai's indifferent eyes, there was a faint hint of an inexplicable smile, which seemed to be mocking and teasing.

"You kid, what's so good about that guy? He hasn't changed at all after so many years, really..."

After some tugging and pulling, the three of them rushed towards the Uchiha clan's base.

At the same time, when Gekko Hayate rushed to the mission hall of the Hokage's office building, he discovered that he was the last jonin to arrive.

"Am I the slowest?"

"No, it should be said that you were the only one who persisted the longest. The rest of us were severely punished."

Kakashi spoke in a lazy tone, his eyes, which were almost like dead fish, were full of helplessness.

"Mr. Kakashi was defeated as well? You are the captain of the elite ANBU, and the students you lead are Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, is that possible?"

"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong. It's not because of the Nine-Tails. Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto are at least as strong as ordinary jonin."

Kakashi knew very well what Gekko Gale was worried about, and he shook his head repeatedly, thinking that he was deceived by the exquisite sleight of hand, which led to his defeat, not the power of the monster.

"Mr. Hayate also lost? The quality of this class of students is beyond imagination. Many of them can be compared with the genius ninja of the previous class, Hyuga Neji from the Hyuga branch family."

On the side, Yuhi Kurenai whispered that the overall quality of everyone in her subordinate Team 8 was not bad, but the one who surprised her the most was Hyuga Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family.

Not only is the Byakugan's observation range abnormally large, but even the chakra contained in its gentle fist is extremely strange.

If Hong had to describe it, the difference between it and ordinary chakra could be said to be a world of difference, both in quality and quantity.

"Oh? You think so too? I am very satisfied with my children. They are worth training."

Asuma returned from the smoking room with a smile on his face, as if he had met a disciple whom he cared about very much.

"It seems that the overall quality of this class of students is very good. I am very pleased to see the tender buds of Konoha grow into towering trees step by step."

The air was filled with smoke and the Third Hokage was holding a pipe with a friendly smile, just like a real old man next door.

"The Third Hokage-sama!"

Many of the jonin present saluted together. Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the main seat and nodded with satisfaction.

Logically speaking, only nine people should have passed the ninja exam, but for some reason the Third Hokage did not limit the number of candidates this time, which instead increased the difficulty of the exam to its extreme.

Now it seems that he is confident about this year's ninja graduation examination, or he has great trust in someone's skills.

"The first class was taught by Uchiha Kagetsu. He played an indispensable role in nurturing so many outstanding young talents for Konoha."

No matter how awkward things get behind the scenes, you still have to say what you should say and do what you should do.

"From today on, you will officially become jonin. Some of you may have taught disciples before, but for some of you this is your first time."

"I reiterate once again that the responsibility of taking on the position is to help the Genin become familiar with the mission and train the Genin's strength, not just to protect and care for them blindly."

He exhaled heavily, focused his attention on Kakashi and the others, and then solved the remaining matters one by one.

At the same time, inside the Haragen headquarters, Danzo sat at his old desk and glanced at the figure next to him.

"It's rare that Orochimaru would send a stranger."

"Mr. Orochimaru is unable to get away and is unwilling to come to Konoha before the plan begins. I hope Mr. Danzo will not blame me for this."

The figure lowered his head and presented Orochimaru's secret letter with both hands. Danzo took a quick look and after confirming that there were no traps, he flipped through the contents.

There was a long silence, and surprise flashed in his deep eyes. It seemed that years of patience were rewarded at this moment.

"Medicine smell, huh? From today on, you officially become my subordinate. Did Orochimaru tell you about the rules of the Root?"

"Yes, I know."

With the curse seal that forbids the disclosure of any secrets, Orochimaru's subordinate Yakumo, who has gained half of Danzo's trust, officially joins the Anbu.

On the other hand, Konoha's ally, the Sand Village.

Luo Sha carefully examined the terms and conditions of the treaty, and after confirming that there were no loopholes, he nodded in agreement.

"Reporting to Orochimaru, since there is no problem with the plan, let's do it this way. The monster that destroys Konoha will be welcomed into the village by Konoha itself."
